The Strange Beauty Standards of Regency England | History for Sleep

Regency England beauty standards were stranger than any period drama ever shows you.

This slow, atmospheric history video for sleep and relaxation covers Georgian and Regency era beauty rituals, hair, skin, fashion, and the social pressure behind them, narrated gently to help you fall asleep. #historyforsleep #regencyera #sleepvideo #beauty #bedtimestories #regencyromance
